The actual article (I thought it'd be convenient if I provided the link, since you didn't) doesn't make Thompson out quite as badly as you seem to think--unless you--of all people!--are prepared to take Nixon's word for it as to Mr. Thompson's intelligence. I'm afraid it's not the smoking gun you'd have to get to knock him out of the race.

Hey Dan: Good point. Nixon was certainly not the most trustworthy source. For what it's worth, we weren't endorsing Nixon's judgment as much as we were suggesting that Thompson's political career and personal life need much more examination before he can be declared the saviour of the Republican right.
